Dow Jones futures extend gains towards 41,500

As the European morning has unfolded the dollar has remained under pressure and that has seen the EUR/USD and the GBP/USD advance further. At the same time, the USD/JPY is edging back towards 140 again and that has helped the EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY lift from their earlier lows. The more risk positive dynamic in the major Yen crosses comes as the European equity markets push a little higher and the US futures also advance. The Dow Jones future is therefore pushing higher just now and even the Nasdaq 100 futures in slightly into positive territory too. The Dow Jones is right now pricing the opening a lot closer to the 41,500 mark, than it was earlier today. The index is currently priced to reopen at around 41,480
